Chapter 302 - 302. Smash



"Pretty showy huh? That\'s fine, we will take the agility advantage." The other swordsman took it that the hammer would slow Walker down enough to have some easy wins. Unfortunately for the swordsman they did not know that it have been made specially to be lighter while retaining strength. 

The two beckoned for Walker to move to an open space where they could take turns sparring. "Gale stay back at the stairs to the back door and do not move in to the field. It is dangerous." Walker was met with a lot of nodding and a thumbs up. He knew that she had a good sense of street smarts so she would not intentionally get in to trouble. 

Su had moved off with the group of font tile fighters and was already using her shields to block their punches. She was taking on all of them at one time and did not seem to be allowing any punches through. Strangely enough it seemed that she was not just kicking and deflecting but also doing it in the most efficient way. Her time training with the two shields was definitely showing. 

"Do you have high enough magic defense to withstand some wind magic?" The magic user with the two swordsmen spoke up with a quiet voice. The girl was fairly shy looking but the small staff she held, there were small green elemental mana crystals embedded in it. They were definitely of a wind element that could increase her magic. 

"I am pretty confident that I can deal with some wind. That staff looks pretty great for wind magic." Walker knew that the staff was very rare to have at a lower level as an adventurer. It could make all the difference in a battle.

The mage nodded. "I am testing this new weapon so just make sure you all are able to dodge well." Walker smiled as he raised the hammer and gave it a test swing. He needed to get used to the feel. When he came down with it for the fifth time he tried to channel a single point of mana through it and found a similar feeling to his grand elemental manipulation skill. He could use his mana to influence the elemental mana to gather in the hammer. This was all he needed to prepare. 

"Well then I will be first." The tallest swordsman drew his sword and fell in to his stance. He did not have his shield raised much and focused on his sword. Walker saw this as a flaw he could go after so he decided to raise the hammer and jump forward with a downward smash. 

The speed he used was a surprise to the swordsman causing his to slash out and barley parry the hammer. However the hammers weight was not easily pushed aside and still grazed him. When it hit the ground a small amount of flames sparked out. 

Walker had only channeled the smallest possible amount of fire element in to the hammer wanting to make sure he did not go overboard. This little test showed him that the hammer could act as the catalyst for flames by making sparks when it made contact. Even more as he jumped back to gain distance he could already feel the water in the air being pulled to the hammer. He wanted to try the water element next. 

Seeing the small amount of sparks the swordsman knew that if the hammer landed he could be burned. "Magic weapon huh? That\'s pretty valuable. Don\'t cry when I break it!" He dashed forward with his sword pointed like a spear. The blade was very straightforward just like the penguin attack from the plains; but they were faster. Walker easily turned to the side and started to bring the hammer down again, but the swordsman was wary of this and dodged himself. 

Again the hammer slammed in to the ground causing a thud, this time it caused a small spot of icicles to burst up. When it came in to contact with the ground it had pulled more water elemental mana from the deeper part of the ground to produce this effect. Walker slightly shuddered at what this could do to an enemy and decided that he could hold off on it for training. 

This put his sparring partner more on guard. Walker liked this and used it as his chance to advance. He swung the hammer forward allowing his body to flow with the momentum to get his steps farther. "Try this on for size!" Walker channeled the wind elemental mana in to the hammer with his swing. The sideways swing caused a rough and blunt burst of air that knocked the swordsman back. 

With his opponent completely staggered Walker headed in with a downward swing on to the swordsman\'s shoulder. He held back enough so it would not cause any harm but the slight bit of darkness element he had begun to channel in to the hammer had a very interesting effect. 

Walker had wanted to test out the use of darkness elemental mana and pushed a very small amount in to the hammer. The swordsman\'s shadow reacted to this reaching up and wrapping itself around the swordsman\'s legs. It was not a full proof trap, but it definitely caused the swordsman to stagger and fall. Walker held the hammer up , "My win." 

This test of the hammer\'s ability to channel the elements had given a very good result. Not only was it basically an extension of his own body. It could also add more physical damage to his magical attacks. Just like Gil Walker would be able to switch between these two forms of attack without fail. Not just that but he could put them together to deal a very surprising attack to an enemy. 

"Alight, you gave my brother a pretty good run for his money. But I know how to use my shield so don\'t think that fancy magic hammer can do much against me." The slightly shorter but more muscle bound swordsman came over after helping his brother up. "I think I can put you off your feet." The smile he had was only for show, there was a serious glint in his eyes the other swordsman had lacked. 

Walker was happy to hear this challenge because he wanted to use his high earth sculpting and his grand elemental manipulation in tandem with the hammer. He had an idea of how he would trap an opponent. There weren\'t more words as the two moved in to battle, they were just feeling each other out much slower than the previous sparring. 

They quickly found that the other was able to keep up and that Walker was even a little faster, especially when it came to dodging. The strikes that this swordsman put out were much sharper, they had a lot more training behind them along with strength. Walker was sure to dodge them more than he needed with the dance of the wild rabbit. It was much tougher using the skill holding a hammer. 

This was an small adjustment though since he had held more than a few weapons in his time and was used to the adjustment needed. After a minute of dodging the strikes he found a chance to swing down. However this was what the swordsman wanted and already had the shield moving upwards. However what they did not expect was that Walker had been channeling the light elemental mana in to the hammer from the sunlight. 

There was a bright flash that completely blinded his opponent giving Walker the chance to use the opposite end of the hammer to knock away the swordsman. The shield had no chance to get in the path of the end of the hammer. This left his opponent wide open for the next attack. 

Walker had seen Remey use her combos many times, he decided to follow what he had seen and add more swings to his attack. He started to mix the elements in to the swing as the swordsman tried to retreat. He did not use elemental man in each of his swings so that his opponent would have no chance to figure out which attacks were safer to block or not. As a result there was the one sided dodging battle happening now. This was what Walker was planning though, he had the earth elemental mana gathered in to the hammer along with a clear idea on what shape he wanted it to take.
